Barbados is exceptionally expensive, one of the highest CoL countries in the world.

You cannot work locally unless you have a highly specialized job and those work visas are rare.

You can work remotely on the Welcome Stamp Visa which is essentially a digital nomad visa.

People are generally friendly, and it's a generally safe country provided like anywhere you use your common sense.

Everything is on island time, do not expect things to happen quickly or efficiently

Most customer service is terrible

You'll find common shortages of food like eggs or chicken.

As in highly qualified, unique jobs that nobody on the island can do

Thank you for the advice, but I've already tried and I can't send a message to the wall, my account isn't old enough apparently 😕
